Can't see what's inside the circle. If it's where the fuel or oil injectors went, then they need to be plugged.

Use the correct size NPT pipe plug and either a few wraps of Teflon tape on the threads or Teflon paste. You can get both the plugs and sealants at your local hardware store or through Jegs or Summit, or any auto parts store.

RB sells an injector plug kit. If it's the oil injectors, you can connect the MOP lines and cap the vacuum ports. There isn't a single NPT thread on a stock engine.

He circled the injector holes on the center iorn. Yes you need to plug those. that's where fuel injectors once sat. Get the kit from Racing Beat...
